CLEVACO® is Proudly Featured by the Sustainable Business Network
CLEVACO® is proud to share that our innovative CLEVA POD® flooring system has been featured in a recent article by the Sustainable Business Network (SBN). This recognition is a meaningful acknowledgement of our commitment to sustainable practices and circular economy innovation, recognised by one of New Zealand’s most respected environmental organisations.
The insightful article highlights how our CLEVA POD® system offers a transformative alternative to traditional concrete flooring methods. Unlike conventional methods that rely on polystyrene blocks destined for landfills, CLEVA POD®s are manufactured from recycled and waste plastic, providing a durable, reusable solution that significantly reduces construction waste.
The piece from SBN effectively conveys the dual benefits of our system: a substantial reduction in construction waste and enhanced practicality on-site. CLEVA POD®s are designed for ease of modification and to eliminate the environmental concern of polystyrene contamination. Furthermore, the article underscores the considerable potential for cost efficiencies during the slab’s eventual demolition, with projections indicating savings of $40,000 to $50,000 for a typical house slab foundation.
We at CLEVACO® are honoured by this feature and believe it accurately reflects our mission to drive sustainable innovation inr the construction industry. This recognition, alongside achievements such as the 2024 Tāmaki Makaurau Zero Waste Innovation Award, reinforces our resolve to lead positive change.
We invite you to read the full article on the Sustainable Business Network’s website.
The CLEVA POD® system has been a 9-year innovation journey, born from a need to develop a more environmentally friendly alternative to the current polystyrene void forming pods, while maintaining the same parameters of the standard sized polystyrene pods, thus avoiding additional re-engineering requirements.
